Just came back from visiting my old buddy, Deputy Dawg. Drank a couple of cold ones, cooked some steaks, and tugged a few triggers...not necessarily in that order.
9MM day. He produced his Berretta 92, a Kel-Tec, and I supplied my crummy P9R.
Hate to say it, but his Beretta was chocking on his reloads, my P9R ate 'em up, along with all kinds of slop...even Wolf steel cased ball. Kel-Tec goes bang every time, too.
Then he brought out his Rock Island Tactical .45, which has felt the touch of a hone. Pulled my 1st shot, wasn't ready for a slick trigger after shooting them wonder nines, after that couldn't miss.
For an inexpensive .45 auto, those RIA's are pretty nice.
